You know, we have a basic responsibility to protect people's data.

That is the complete opposite of their business model. You are the product. They sell you. That's always been the plan.

‘That’s always been the plan.’

I can remember from 2008/2009...watching business guys on the business network discuss this whole matter, and their entire take was that the only thing of value was ‘click-knowledge’ and ‘viewing-knowledge’, and that Facebook was planning to bank on that for all it’s profits and growth.

Everyone knew that, and that’s why the whole thing was FREE. If there is a problem....then just convert it to a $5 a month service and make it all private.

Exactly. This is why these platforms are worth so much money and it is not just Facebook. Yahoo, Youtube, Google, and the rest all data mine your online activities so they can target ads to you.

You either accept this when you use the product or you do not use them. Facebook will even adjust your preferences for you (to their benefit) if you do not pay attention as do the others.
